Your tenant agreement is usually the binding document. If it isn't specifically mentioned, there should be a clause covering what reasons landlords have to enter your domicile (Maintenance, inspections, bug sprays, etc.) and how much leeway time they have to give to announce it.
If your landlord provided this in wiritng over 24-48 hours before the entering, I'd say it's the landlord's legal right - unless the only reason is to show the apartment. The way around this is if you have given notice to move. If you tell the landlord you are leaving, the landlord has the right to show your home to fill it when you are gone.
Considering your angry tone, I would say you have not looked this up and you may be in for a shock.

Do you have a lease or are you on a month-to-month rent plan w/ no agreement? If there is a lease/rent agreement in place then you need to really dig in and read the fine print. After you do that, I suggest you take it to her and make her read the fine print! First of all, if you do have an agreement that expires in Nov., she cannot through you out b/c you have a binding agreement, which if worse comes to worst, you can do a little mud slinging and take her to court. Hopefully it won't go that far, but let's face it, it could. Now, if there is now agreement in place, you need to think back to the oral/verbal agreement you guys put into place when you agreed to rent from her. Just so you know, she cannot "throw" you out w/ only a 24-hour notice! No judge would allow that! She has to give you a "reasonable" amount of time to get out, and 24 hours ain't gonna cut it! A reasonable amount of time, according to most state laws, is anywhere from 5-30 days. If you are actually the one breaking lease/rental agreement (written), you need to rethink all these actions. She can take you to court to demand you pay her the full amount left on the written agreement, and you don't want that to happen! If she's allowing you out of the contract w/o much ado, take what you can get and run! You also need to read the contract about her showing the apt. More than likely, there is a clause on such matter. If there isn't, she has every right to show the apt. That being said, she must notify you that she's going to show the apt, and give you enough time to prepare for the showing. What you do to prepare could depend on whether she holds up her end of the bargain. Your "moving mess" is understandable. Messes that won't be understandable are such things as food messes, days-old dishes, multiple garbage bags, etc., which I doubt you have just lying around anyway. Hope the legalities of such instances have helped. Good luck!

It's not your place. You and you alone are probably breaking state and local laws by not allowing your landlord to show HER property.
You can't "demand" that she return your security deposit early...as a matter of fact she could and probably will take money from it for liquidated damages for your lack of cooperation in finding new tenants.
It doesn't cost the landlord anything to give a legal 24 hour notice. All she needs to do is write in down on a piece of paper and post it on your front door.
You really need to read up on your laws before you pull such nonsense.

Hi there, Im a landlord in Australia. I would advise you to look at your rental agreement or Tenancy agreement.
It sounds like you are in the RIGHT, I dont know the laws where you are, but usually there should be a fair bit of notice given to you that the place is shown to other people, unless of course you have broken the contract early. It sounds a little rude on the owners behalf. In our country , a landlord must give 1 or 2 weeks notice to come to the property, unless there is emergency repairs (or thereabouts).

In most states, landlords have the right to show your place to prospective tenants with or without you being present, as long as they give you 24 hours notice. Unless your lease specifically says that she does not have this right, there's not much you can do about it.
I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's the law. Sorry.

Last time I moved, my landlord was very considerate about showing our place. He always gave us plenty of notice. I wouldn't want people in my house if it was a mess, BUT, if they can't understand you are in the middle of moving, it's not your problem. She's the one loosing, not you. Don't worry about it. Just put your personal stuff in a safe place. As far as your last month's rent goes, tell her you will not pay it unless you get your deposit back. Chances are, you will NEVER get that deposit back. As long as you haven't trashed the place, she has no right to keep it.

the great money backers and funders of the gop and their puppets like pretend information supply the orders. they supply the conversing factors and sources to apply. Ever observed how each and every solitary republican makes use of precisely an analogous phraseology and criticisms. it somewhat is actual hysterically humorous. They under no circumstances, ever, ever criticise their own "tribe" yet will savour utilising any grievance, fact based or no longer, against the liberals. even although that tactic is transparently hypocritcal, it is likewise accidentally hysterical. there is no person so humorous as an arrogant idealogue who fancies himself to be smart and insightful jointly as pointing hands everywhere yet at himself!! : D

Hey Bella, your landlord is just trying to make you mad enough to pack up an leave. I would anyway, because I don't need that kind of BS in my life.
Withhold your rent and take the martha faulker to court. They're not allowed to show it until you are gone................
Good luck
Buena suerte.

Review your lease. You probably lose on this one. And she is holding your deposit hostage.
You'll lose in court and could be liable for damages she can't mitigate in lost rent because you failed to comply with your lease.
